New laptop.
Crowbarred my way free of Win 10, repartitioned, installed Mint, fixed stupid
wireless connection problem.

Want to install qtpovray, hgpovray38, but need povray proper.
website instructions and github readme instructions are different.

Installed all of prereq packages
made it through ./configure....

Alienware povray-3.7-stable # make
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
Alienware povray-3.7-stable # ls

Alienware povray-3.7-stable # makefile -f Makefile.am

Alienware povray-3.7-stable # make -f Makefile.am
make: *** No rule to make target 'all', needed by 'check'.  Stop.
Alienware povray-3.7-stable # make -f Makefile.in

Alienware povray-3.7-stable #

Any recommendations?

sudo apt-get install povray would be SO nice....
